In short, having huge numbers of Americans complain to Congress, as with this piece of legislation, can influence laws at the margin.

The rest of the bill is still awful; it imposes new and large taxes on wind and solar while eliminating subsidies for them, funds a the deportation of millions, cuts medicaid sharply (in large part through imposing onerous paperwork on people) and cuts taxes for billionaires while raising them on the poor.

And where is the political opposition using this silver platter delivery of pissed off voters to siphon them for future elections? Where are the talk radio slogans? The bumper stickers? The slogan getting repeated in the news until even the other party starts using the language? The black and white TV ads showing a rich jerk building a 4th mansion at a pristine waterfront lake?

The right is effective because their PR and media game is on point. Dems keep appealing to the "principles" and "better nature" that has unfortunately shown to be effective. Progressive parties (e.g. not Dems) need Dem money so they can actually run effective campaigns.

Don't give to Dems!

There are literally billboards and others outreach.

Not that it gets press coverage
